Fresh off the release of her third studio album, Lorde surprised fans by dropping a surprise EP, “Te Ao Mārama”. Featuring five songs from her Solar Power album, recorded entirely in te reo Māori, the indigenous language of the Māori people of New Zealand. Though the singer does not speak te reo Māori, in a statement, she said that she created this version to honor the theme of “caring for and listening to the natural world” prevalent in Solar Power. Lorde, who is not Māori, credits the Māori culture for creating the spiritual and nature-focused worldview that all New Zealanders grow up with.
